So you know the movie is going to have crappy special effects, bad acting and a poorly written, but the acting by the lead Veronika Issa (Alexandra Svoboda) has got to be one of the worst in movie sci-fi history. The other actors were fair to good, but the lead apparently went to the Joey Tribbiani night school class.of drama. Most of the time she looked like a chicken pecking while trying to recite her lines. I understand that the lead slept with the director in order to get the part, but the other twenty people in the movie looked like professional actors compared to Veronika Issa. I would suggest that in the future that Veronika only be allowed parts that have no speaking lines or acting positions. If she wants the lead for being the best, she could look at maybe a elementary or middle school drama program. Of course she would probably still have to sleep with the teacher to get the lead over the kids. .

A new low for The Asylum, who are not even so-bad-it's-good anymore. Barely any kind of FX in this one at all, just a lot of people chit-chatting with looks of mild consternation on their faces. Eric Roberts is the 'name' cast member whose role is just to sit behind a desk and respond to people shouting at him. Almost as bad as cinema gets.

Rule of thumb for watching an Asylum film. Watch until the first disaster hits, get to know the characters a little bit even though they are basically extremely annoying and not people you would want to be stuck in a disaster with or work with or even pass by on the street, then start to fast forward until the next disaster hits. You basically haven't missed a thing. You can tell just by the title of this movie that it is moronic from start to finish, with dialogue that's meant to sound pretentious but is extremely dumb. I usually don't assume based upon a title, but in their case, I've learned the formula, and there's no nutrition in it.

Another good rule of thumb when watching their films is to read the reviews as you're picking up the major plot devices and you will see that their pattern has completely been exposed. this isn't the first asteroid movie they've done, but once again, very little has changed other than they tossed the script up in the air and whatever pages fell together, that's how they filmed it.

They also look for an out of work actor with somewhat of a name, in this case, Oscar nominee Eric Roberts, and pray for the best. of course that actor is going to be good and create a bit of a marquee, but most of the times as in Robert's case, they are wasted. Special effects once again our mediocre and few and far between, so this ends up being a bore. The photography going over Washington DC looks as if someone took their phone and shot it out of their plane window. Nearing two decades of these types of films, they haven't learned a thing. Most modern science fiction films are bad. This is just rancid
